Funny how the owner of 'Face Book' , Mark Zuckersburge, has always worn a 'hoodie'...it's his signature outfit...and he's one of the wealthiest men alive...since going public with Facebook on the stock market...

MediaPost Publications The Talk of Facebook's IPO Roadshow: Zuckerberg's Hoodie. 05/09/2012

Mark Zuckerburge wears a hoodie, just like Trayvon did or was...

The richest young man of this generation, Mark Zuckerburge, wears a hoodie...

He's like the Bill Gates, of this generation...

What they should really ban is the stupidity of identifying a certain type of behavior with a certain type of clothing.

But they can't do that.

Part of the privilege of being White in America is not having negative impressions about you based on how you are dressed.

Using the race card is power for the liberal blacks.. they are fed garbage by the al Sharptons and Jesse jacksons and they are fine with that. Of course the democratic party loves to use blacks for their votes and keep them dependent so they are still a slave to the dems.

Another good post

I've been blessed enough that my family has never had to resort to welfare, so I don't know specifics laws, rules etc. If something like the following is already in effect, I don't believe it is being enforced very well.

Seeing as mostly this is a youth issue:
I think maybe a way to make parents care about what their kids do, and their own actions would be to suspend welfare, food stamps, housing benefits for the whole family.

If a child is repeatedly being arrested, if he/she is constantly starting trouble in school, if there are drug issues, I think maybe that household should not receive food stamps or any benefits.

I think if that child or anyone in that household are old enough to be a trouble maker, a gangsta, maybe when he/she see's that their brothers and sisters are hungry, and that their parents are struggling to feed them and pay the bills, that will be enough to get the gangsta to reevaluate his/her life, and make some better decisions.

Maybe it will get the parents to take a more proactive role in their kids lives. Maybe they will do something more then just sending their kids to school to be "watch/babysat" for 7-8 hours. Maybe they would care more what their children are doing before, during, and after school hours. Maybe they will stop ignoring the issues that are brought to their attention. Maybe they will stop making excuses.

Maybe they would take responsibility for their household.

Too many parents don't care about what the members of their household do, they only care about that next check. They have very little incentive to control the members of their household.


In my opinion.

That's not true. Whites who are dressed poorly are called red necks and white trash. There are definitely negative White stereotypes. I don't care what race you are, if you show up to an interview with multiple tattoos, improper grooming, and multiple piercings, you will have a negative perception about you.
